Steep
Connect Dot to Steep to query your metrics using natural language
Connect Dot to your Steep semantic layer to query metrics, dimensions, and slices using natural language. Dot syncs your metric definitions, dimensions, and their descriptions so you can ask questions about your data without writing code.
Requirements
A Steep account with at least one metric defined
A Steep API key — generate one in Steep under Settings → API
Connect to Steep
Go to Settings → Semantic Layers → Steep
Enter your API Key
Click Connect
Dot will sync your metrics and dimensions
Generating an API key
In Steep, go to Settings → API and create a new API key. Copy the key and paste it into Dot.
What Gets Synced
When you connect Steep, Dot imports:
Metrics — each metric appears as a table (e.g., revenue, order_volume)
Dimensions — appear as columns on each metric, with their data types
Descriptions — metric and dimension descriptions are synced for context
Slices — predefined filters listed in metric descriptions (e.g., "UK", "Enterprise")
Related metrics — noted in descriptions so Dot can suggest complementary data
Dot periodically re-syncs to pick up new or changed metrics. You can also trigger a manual sync from the connection settings.
How Queries Work
When you ask a question, Dot generates a steep_query() call that fetches data for one metric at a time. Queries support:
Breakdowns — group results by up to 2 dimensions (e.g., by Country, by Product Category)
Filters — narrow results to specific dimension values
Slices — use predefined filters for common segments
Time ranges — specify date ranges and time granularity (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly)
